  8. Rule of Thirds • An image should be divided into 9 equal parts • Place the focal point where 2 lines meet slightly off center

  9. Framing • Using elements in a scene to visually surround your subject and make it stand out Fence décor provides the frame in this picture

  10. Leading Lines • Actual or suggested lines in an image that draw a viewer’s eye to the focal point Sun is the focal point Road lines lead viewer to the sun

  11. Cropping • Including all the elements you want • Excluding everything you DON’T want

  12. Directional Lighting • Front Lighting = shines from behind the camera and lights up the front of the subject (no shadows) • Side Lighting = shines from left or right of camera (shadows) • Back Lighting = shines from behind the subject towards camera (silhouette)
